We've been accomplishing a lot since my last post. Here are a few of the things we've been doing.
In math, we've finished up several units. During our fraction unit, the students worked hard to show fractions, name fractions, compare fractions, put fractions in order, and find equivalent fractions. The children created drawings and number lines and used fraction bars throughout our fraction unit.
If you would like a fun review option, I HIGHLY recommend checking out abcya.com. Online play is free. The Fraction Fling game is fun. There are also fraction tiles that your child can use to explore. (See the top screen shot above.) Your child can drag fraction tiles to the workspace to find equivalent fractions or to compare the sizes of fractions.
Students practiced describing and classifying quadrilaterals based on their attributes. They created these fun Quadrilateral Quotes posters to show off their knowledge. Students also learned to calculate the area and perimeter of shapes and regions.
In other math news, we've worked on graphing skills. The children have continued to work on committing multiplication facts to memory. One of their favorite ways to practice is to set a fidget spinner in motion and do as many facts as they can before it stops.
Our trip to the Lebanon Green was amazing, and we are so grateful for all the hardworking and knowledgeable volunteers who made it possible.
During our Colonial Day students wrote with quill pens, did colonial crafts, and played colonial games. We even made butter!
Most recently, we were able to visit Old Sturbridge Village.
Thank you for stopping by!
